on THE CURRENCY.
GAINED IN POPULARITY.


There has rarely been in the history OF
popular governments so great contrast as
in the public appreciation of Gen. Arthur at,
the time of his Inauguration and when he
retired from office The President of whom
little was expected and much feared re-
turned to private life enjoying in
larger degree than most of his
predecessors the profound respect and warm
regard of the people witlout distinction of
party He was a warm-hecrted, socal,
pleasure-Ioving man, but capable OF 6he
greatest industry, enc rance and courage.
He dearly loved crafty his friends, but
ii he thought the public interests 50 required
no one could more firmly resist their desires
or their opportunities.

HIS GREATEST AMBITION.
He said to me early in his administration:
'My sole ambition is TO enjoy the confidence
of my couptrymen' Toward this noble
ideal he stiove with undertaking purpose.
Even in the mistakes he made could be seen
his manly struggle 10 be right. Once again
in private station and resuming the practice
of his profession, he moved among his fell
low-citizens receiving the homage and recog-

he had borne the honors and administered

Something auput the Snow Flea.

Prot. Samuel Lockwood, the eminent
naturalist, resides at Freehold, n. J.
He is quoted as an authority by Darwin
in his great work on the origin OF species.
\ few days ago Mr.. Lockwood received
a letter from Edwin Stlter of Forked
River, in reference to the insect known
as the SHOW flea, which abounds in
Ocean County. Mr.. Salter is engaged
in making a history of that county, and
wished to secure authentic information
in regard to the habits of the insect, and
the following reply has been sent him
by Mr.. LOCKWOOD:
The snow flea you mention is the Po-
dura ninicula. 1t seems to be bred in
the gronnl and through the winter il
harbors ne:.r the ground under the bark
OF trees. Sometimes fine sunny day
wilt tempt them to leave their hiding
places, when they often appear on the
snow III great numbers. They have

The Stcry Of a Chinaman.

a New York paper tells this story Of
the misfOrtunes of Chinaman: Chin
Look WAS in street cer on his way
home. Beside him in the car was a
tipsy man with pocket flask of whis-
key. Opposite him was a young Amer
lean on his way home from hospitable
front parlor. The tipsy man offered
the young man a drink. The young
p-an saw that the best thing to do was
to take one. The liquor was vile, and
flashed through the young mans system
ike lightning. He thanked the tipsy
man, said the liquor was good, and
handed the flask back. The tipsy man
proffered it to Ching Look. The China
man declined it. The tipsv man urged
him to drink again and again, and each
time Ching Look smiled and shook his
head.
"Bcgorra," said the tipsy man, I'D
give tin dollars to see n Chaneyman
dhrrrunk. It'd be worth twinty dol
lars. Here, John, or what the divil dive
call yoursilf, take a dhrirk. Aye, but
you will now; I'll make you"
With that the tipsy man seized the
Chinaman by the hair and with brutal
force pressed the neck of the flask
against the Chinaman's mouth. "Tll
make you dhrink, blast you,' said the
tipsy man. The whiskey ran down
Ching Looks coat, and, getting into his
mouth, half strangled him. He writhed
and struggled TO get away. The flask
ran empty, and the tipsy man, enraged,
dropped it and began to choke the
Ch;naman. The Chinaman scratched
and clawed, and he and his assailant
rolled from the seat to the bottom OF the
car. The tipsy man punched him until
blood hid his face, and the Chinaman
screamed. TN car stopped, the tipsy
man rolled ont of it, and a policeman
leaped aboard and dragged the China
man out and through the streets to the
station house, where he spent the night.
In court next morning he was accused
Of having been drunk and disorderlv.
He did not understand word of villa.

dollars At that he opened his coat,
ripped some stitches IN his undergar.
ment, and handed the Court $40 gold

CURED in divorce case before Massa-
chusetts court. The defendent bore the
historic name Of Daniel Webster:
1trangely enough the woman who sued
,cr divorce was Cathl me LIE Roy,
which name was borne ny the second
wife of the great New Hampshire orator
and statesman. So far as could be learn
ed, the plaintiff and defendant are not
in any way related to the famous people
whose names they bear.

The Consumption Of Liquor.

Mr. W. F. Switzler, chief of the Bu.
reau of Statistics at Washington, has
embodied in his last quarterly repon
some interesting and valuable statistics
as to the consumption Of liquor. He es.
Inmates that in 1910 the consumption Of
distilled spirits was 100000 gallons.
in 1870, $4,000, 900; in 1856, ~, ,0O0. 600
The consumption Of malt liquors in IS40
was %, 600, 600; in 1870, 20l. 900, 900; in
1886, 642, 900, 900. The consumption
of wines was 5000, 0G0 in 1Si0, l2.OOO..
900 in 1870, and 22,000,O0O in 1856.
The real significance OF these figures
lies, of course, in the ratio which the to.
tai consumption has borne to the popula-
ton. The Per captM consumption Of
distilled spirits has decreased from 2.52
in 1S40 to l.24 in 1856. The consump.
ton of malt liquors, on the contrary,
increased from 1.36 gallons in 1910 TO
II gallons in 1SS6. The consumption
of wine increased during the first part
of this period, bat during the last de.
cade it has declined. Mr.. Switzler pub
fishes also in his report a contribution
from Mr.. NJ. F. Barrett, editor of the
AmericdE Grocer, relating TO the cost Of
alcoholic beverages to American con.
sumers. Mr.. Barrett estimates that ten
per cent. of the spirits distilled is used
for mechanical purposes, but thinks
that this amount is more than made up
by the water added to :he whiskey. He
therefore estimstes tia; the consumers
pay for the entire sevonty-tive million
gallons distilled an average of $3.50
per gallon, CT seven anI one-half cents
per drink. This makes the whiskey
bill S337, 100000. With reference to
beer, he assumes that the avaraSe cost
OF a gallon to the consumeris fifty cents.
The beer bill, therefore, is S3O4,-
000,000 The wines lie calculates are
sold for S3S, ,OOO-thus reaching q
grand total OF SG93. .0C0,000. Mr.. Bar
rett supposes that this liquor is con-
sumed by IA, 92J, 900 OF our population,
so that each Of these spends an average
of S45. 80 for his liquor. This estimate
of seven hundred millions as the liquor
bill OF the nation practically agrees with
that made by Mr.. Atkinson. His esti-
mate of the cost OF spirits may be a lit
tie exaggerated, but on the whole it is
the safest and most sensible estimate
which has vet been made.

He was Buried Alive.

A horrible case of trance has occurred
at Ndesfa, in Russia, and, owing to the
position of the person, has caused con-
siderable sensation. Major Maiuroff,
an artillery officer and Aide-de- Camp to
the Governor General of Odessa. aged
30, died, as was supposed, three weeks
ago, somewhat suddenly, and was in
tered forty hours afterward. His fun
eral was marked by much military pomp
and by the presence of all the civic and
military no.ables.
A few daysago, while the family vault
in the metropolis was being renovated
for the Russian F'ete des Morts, the coffin
lid was noticed to have been partly forced
open. twas Immediately removed, and
the body was found face downward.
The face was dreadfully lacerated. and
the flesh gnawed from the hands. The
corpse was still bleeding, which con-
firms the statement Of a workman that
his attention was first attracted bv
noise in the coffin, and the unfortunate
Major died only on the instant Of the
appalling discovery.

Settled q Lawsuit with Cards.

The Concord (N. II. Monitor says:
One of the cases on the Merrimack
County docket at the last term of court
was settled in way not recognized in
law, perhaps, but one more economical
than trial by jury. The suit involved
several hundred dollars, but before the
case came to trial the parties to the suit
were brought together by their counsel
to talk the matter over. As O result
they came within S25 of settlement, but
nearer than that the efforts of their
counsel could not bring them. "Iu
play you game of high, low, jack to
see whether you pay my client that ex.
ira S25 or he takes what you Offer" at
length suggested one of the plaintiff.
counsel to the defendant. 'I'll do it,
was the ready response, and in five
minutes all hands were ON their way to
a club room in this city. 1t is said that
the lawyers hands trembled as he play
ed his cards, while his opponent took it
roOlly, but at any rate the lawyer won
the game and got tie s25 for his client

The Milwaukee Woman's Exchange was
